Race day, the day we all have been working so hard to get to is finally upon us. Tomorrow is the big day. 10 weeks of aches, pains, hills, adventures, and accomplishments are about to finally come to fruition. I’M SO EXCITED!!! This has been an incredible journey. 10 weeks ago I was terrified. I […]

Trying to get the most out of this program, I wanted to use up some of the resources we have. Yoga was never something I thought I’d like. I feel like I have too much going on in my head to find some quasi inner peace and quiet my mind. Physically, I despise core work […]

Well, it’s hard to believe, but we are in the final week. 6 days from now I will have finished running the GoodLife FITNESS 10k race at the Bluenose Marathon! Wow. This week is a “taper” week, or a rest week, in other words. A week to make sure our bodies and minds are as prepared as […]

Less than 4 weeks till the big race and I’m getting excited by the goals that are reached and in reach! Moreover seeing everyone else posting about hitting their goals, reaching new times, seeing improvements. It’s what makes thhis group so great. When others hit their goals it makes you want to hit yours. On […]

Excuse my French, but s**t’s getting real, guys. We are only 4 WEEKS away from race day! How did that happen? I feel like training just started yesterday and we’re already 6 weeks in. I’m still terrified of the 10k, but not really as much as I was a couple of weeks ago (remember this […]

I haven’t really been running since 2013. Sure, I did a 5k here and there, but it’s not like I’ve been “active.” Numerous attempts to start a Couch-to-5k were fruitless, and I got discouraged. With ever-growing health issues (mental and physical), I grew more tired and sore and miserable. I knew I needed a different […]

If you’ve ever walked or run around the HRM you learn pretty quick how hilly this province is! I moved to my new neighborhood last summer, and although I know my usual route was pretty hilly, I never really noticed it much. Until today! I haven’t run much since December. Maybe once a week. And […]

I’ve been waiting in anticipation for #TeamMyles2018. I woke up Sunday morning feeling brave, ready to get it done. The group was pumped full of excitement, the air was brrrr cold but we didn’t mind. We set out to reach our running destination, not as pretty as I hoped but still we were outside so […]

A few weeks ago, I ran my first race ever with one of my sisters by my side. Both of my sisters are amazing athletes – sport and fitness has been at the centre of their lives forever. Somehow, I missed getting involved in sports when I was younger. I did play on a soccer […]

Want to know a secret? I’m scared …have I done enough? Will I be ready? Is this body capable of running 10km in just 3 short weeks? That’s 2 hills nights and 2 long runs left. I may have just vomited a little … I’ll never tell Apparently these feelings are totally normal at this […]
